The Discharge of Terry.

LONDON, March 9.-The Telegraph CON-
menting on the discharge OF Draughtsman
Terry from Chatham Navy Yard says: II
the charge that Terry's revelations went
indirectly to the American Legation be
true and it be proved that the Government
at Washington surreptitiously tried to
bribe British officers to turn traitors. a
violent wave of indignation will sweep
over this country. The people OF England
and the United States are on friendly
terms and there is. every desire on our part
to maintain these relations. The British
dock yard officials are willing to show for
eigners details OF Eoglish naval resources,
but the Nation desires all this to be open
and above board. Treacherous traficking
in state secrets, when discovered, will be
visited with swift censure and punish
ment.

as a grape skin between the teeth, and no

Pierre rushed to the hatchway, and wsut
down three steps. He reeoiled In suffocation-
An acTid smoke filed his lungs The vii

minutes gracsl he had smptied the brandy
key over . heap Of tarred cordage; and the
whole thing wal in . blaze. Put out that

Then Pierre quietly took his place at the
tiller again, ~instinctively clinging to the
life that he had now % little chance Of saw
ing. Almost suddenly the wind had gone
down. The sea was still running very high;
but its fury had visibly decreased.
Pierre mt at the helm. almost like Q Pan
in Q dream, listening to the plankwork
cracking in tho fire below decka Sud
denly, through the open stairway, . burst
Of red light flashed up. The deck was al
ready on fire.
Minute by minuts the 6re increased. A
little while ago the sweeping seas might
have put it out, OF, ut least, helped to keep
it under. But now that she was out Of the
storm circle the vessel shipped no more
water. She reeled on inertly, staggering
from wave to wave, descending and rising,
topping each billow that lifted her with q
crest Of fire.
What wind there was blew aft; the fire
was advancing toward the bow. For one
half hour of agony Pierre remained motion
less, looking at the sanguine glow which the
burning bark flung over the waves about
her. Pierre, at last, feeling the approach of
the fire, dropped upon his knee, made the
sign Of the cross and threw himself down
flat upon the deck, with his face to the
burning planks.
How long did he remain thus? Perhaps
only . few minutes. But suddenly a loud
ory burst upon his ears. He lifted his head.
Right ahead a boat manned by four men
was coming at full sweep of tho long oars,
Enthusiastically lighted by the wild CLEANS of
the confagration.
"Ship ~ahoyi-ahoyr' shouted q voicA
Pierre opened his lips to speak. But at
the same instant be felt the vessel give way
beneath him, and a Hood of salt water
closed his mouth n ears.
Cid Landure's boat had gone to the bot
tom.
When Pierre came to himself again, In
the lifeboat which had picked him up, he
saw q great bearded face bending over him.
As he opened his eyes the man with the
great beard said to him:
"Hellol my boyl it was a mighty lucky
thing for you that your boot was on fire! II
It hadn't been for that we'd never have
been able to see you in such an internal
night as thisi"
When Pierre married Marie one year
after he told her the story Of that awful
night.
"That was . mean fellow, that Jean,
wasn't he, pet' Rnt anyhow, if ! amt dead
now it's just because he tried so hard Ia
kill me-"
"Dear Pierre" answered Marie, ''let US

repose of his poor soul. "-Translated from

editor Of a Cheyenne paper at the Grand

to show you what we have to contend with.
About two weeks ago the operator in ou1

a sensational murder from somewhere neal
Rawlins. There was wire trouble all along
the line, and the night editor, who was
standing over the operator, was beginning
to fear that the matter would not be in in
time for his edition. The instrument worked

point where the murderer had pointed thu
smoking pistol to his own breast, when

A Good Place for CoOns.

The northwestern road has just opened up
a new branch into the lumber country Of
Wisconsin, and it appears from all accounts
that the inhabitants up that way are not
much acquainted with railroads.
'The queerest thing about the folks up
that way" said a freight brakeman, ''is
that they don't catch onto the fact that cars
are put on side tracks only temporarily. At
this season of the year the coon catching
bosiness is lively up that way, and the last
trip we made up the new branch We pulled
OUT seven cars, each one having nailed to it's

In tones that are sad and low,
And the tale is woven Of signs and tears
Of blasted hopes and heart sick fears;
And many a voice from the vanished years
Thro' memory's portals flow.
sing q song Of the yesterdays,
With the burden of many tears,
Ant the song has the sound of a funeral kneu,
That struck with the chimes of a wedding bell
And mingling, make the weirdest spell,
When echoing thro' the years.
Ipaint a sketch Of the yesterdays,
In colors of somber hue,
And the sketch Is on canvas now faded and worn
Whose warp and wool are the years long flown
And the colors are mixed with the tears they've
And the tints are of ashes and rue.
I dreamed a dream OF the yesterdays,
That memory's whispers bring,
And the dream is OF hopes forever lied,
That manhood's ardent fires fed.
All, age is a requiem over them dead.
That only q few may sing.
But I'll give a mile to the yesterdays
For smiles from tears are won,
Such q smile as will dawn on a young child face
When looked-f for joys its grief efface.
Or its fears. yet hopes, for q parents grace,
With the rays Of the setting sun.

who declares: that the time is past when the
medical career offers chancss for lucrative
success. The country now contains about
13. 200 doctors. according to this learned
authority. while Borrer's Almanac for
1887 puts the total still highcr-lO,2 2g2.
TO iii the vacant places in the profession
$500 to 8. GOO would be sufficient num-
Der of medical students, which was the
case twenty years ago. But tho last re-
port shows that there arc now s. 400 stu
dents in the German medical schools.
In Prussia ESQ new doctors would fully
supply the usual demand, but instead Of
that 431 were graduated last year. II
this continues nobody will be left to bc
